The Golden Rule of Entrepreneurship: Keep. Your. Money. Separate. 🙅‍♂️

Let’s talk about “piercing the corporate veil.”

When you set up an LLC, you do it to protect your personal assets from business liabilities. But that protection isn’t magic. It’s a legal contract that requires you to act like a separate entity.

If you are:

❌ Buying family groceries with the business card.

❌ Paying your business insurance from your personal account.

❌ Moving money back and forth without logging it as a draw or contribution.

…you are commingling.

If a legal issue or audit arises, a court can rule that your business structure is an illusion, exposing your personal savings, car, and home to liabilities.

The Fix:

One card for business. One card for personal. If you accidentally mix them up, document the correction immediately in your software.

Keep your shield intact. 🛡️
